The First Years: Baby Food on the Go-Ella's Organics Review

Welcome back to The First Years Starting Solids mini series! Today we are giving another option for baby food on the go! 

As I've stated before in this series, I prefer (and think it's best) to make baby food. When you make it yourself, you have no worries about what your baby is consuming. You made it, so you know.

But homemade baby food must be refrigerated, and let's be honest, it can be messy. I do have friends that have special little cooler compartments in their diaper bags for homemade baby food, but I honestly preferred the easy way out.

Back in the summer, when Baby Girl was still consuming purees, Ella's Organics sent me some of their baby food products to review. 

Ella's Organics let me try their 5 of their purees: broccoli, pears and peas; apples; strawberry & apple; banana baby brekkie and spinach, apples & rutabaga. 


I was impressed with both the variety and nutritional content on the products. I mean--rutabaga? (I had honestly never even heard of it before!) You can't get much more variety than that!


Ella's Organics was started as a family business, and all the company's foods are USDA organic!


You can purchase Ella's Organics at most Target and Walgreens stores as well as on Amazon.com.
